Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleRam Kapoor is a well-known face in the entertainment industry. From TV to film, the actor has built a solid fanbase. However, recently he has been making headlines for his revelation about his father's death and how he felt happy and thrilled when he passed away.
Ram Kapoor was last seen on Netflix's captive reality series, Lock Upp. And recently, he opened up about one of the most difficult phases of his life and how caring for his father during his final days changed his perspective on death. In a conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit, he revealed that when his father died, it left a much deeper impact on him. Talking about his dad, Ram recalled:
"When I was going through that, being with Dad at that time, I didn't know that I could do it. I didn't know that I could actually do what he wanted me to do. He somewhere thought that Ram would be able to do this. I think he saw my strength in this matter. I did not know at that point. I had my hands full with this dying man. It was not easy. Cancer is a very bad way to go. It's a very bad disease. Sometimes he's in severe pain, sometimes he's hallucinating, sometimes he's… So I had to deal with all of that."
In the same conversation, Ram revealed that he was entirely focused on doing what his father needed him to do. He recalled that he was there with him until the very last moment, and it was only after his passing that everything started to sink in. He realised how much he had learned from the experience, and, in an unorthodox way, it was one of the "best things that's happened" to him because it helped his father do something he really wanted.
Ram Kapoor revealed that everyone wants to live like a king. However, his father died like one. He shared that he passed away on his terms. Ram reflected on his death and called the way his father went out "fantastic". He added:
"Everybody lives as if they are never going to die. They don't even talk about their deaths with their family members. Plan it. Discuss it. Plan your will, your assets. I mean, it's going to happen, right? So, why are you guys ignoring it? I was super thrilled that his pain was over. So, in that process, I was happy about the death. I was smiling at the death. So, when you start smiling at death, how can you fear it? So, now it's a joke to me."
In the same conversation, Ram Kapoor admitted that while it was a tough call to make and had emotional consequences for his family, he doesn't regret what happened. For the unversed, Ram made headlines recently for his stint on Ekta Kapoor's Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. He made several candid revelations on the show about his personal life, including his struggles with depression and alcohol, as well as his behaviour during his show, Bade Acche Lagte Hain.
While his appearance was mired in controversy, he managed to finish in fifth place. Talking about regrets around his father's passing, Ram said:
"I don't think that I did anything wrong because I helped a dying man. So, I have no regrets about this."
